Some activities were scheduled to run concurrently. Unlike last semester, most of the Spring semester activities included calling vendors which was done by mainly one group member. Another group member did the web page editing, two did ProEngineer drawings of the concepts and another worked mainly on the presentations and necessary calculations. Some tasks were more time consuming than expected. The schedule is shown below.
